    Adam Peaty clocks 57.13 seconds! He wins by one and a half seconds!

    That is astonishing. Peaty raises his arms aloft. He can't take it all in. Who could?

    The first man to win gold in the pool for Great Britain in 28 years.

    As has been mentioned, Adam Peaty is way ahead of the rest of the field. It's his to grasp. He has the talent to do it. I'd love to see him break the world record.
